[ANN] Monticello Rename
by Noury Bouraqadi 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi, This is the first of a (short) serie of annoucements. MonticelloRename extends Monticello with the ability to rename a package. It often happened to me to start a package with a first name and then find a better name. MonticelloRename automates the name change (class and method categories, package name, ...). Actually, it does not delete the original package, creates a package with the new name, moves methods and classes and unloads the originale package.

Re: Fun with Number readFrom: What should we do ?

Andreas, I completely agree with what you said except for the first sentence. Why do you think it is a "complete and utter overkill"? I can think of three possibilities: 1) The extra class you are adding to the image (SqNumberParser) 2) The extra object involved in the parsing 3) All the explicit methods that you have to define on the SqNumberParser object. None of them seems an overkill to me. I am obviously missing something. Cheers, Francisco This communication is for informational purposes only.

[ANN] 3.9a7025
by Marcus Denker 01 May '06

http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/Squeak3.9a-7025.zip CHANGELOG: -------------------- Compiler: - Small refactoring of MethodNode>>generate and related methods (needed by MethodWrappers) (Diego Fernandez (and Andrian Lienhard (netstyle.ch)) ) - == <integer literal> to = <integer literal> in response to Dan Ingalls' note (fbs) OmniBrowser: (Lukas Renggli of netstyle.ch) - fixes an bug when the browser is opened (Ctrl+B) from non OmniBrowser windows (Debugger, Workspace, ...) - drag and drop methods and categories onto classes -------------- SUnit: 0003489: ClassTestCase >> selectorsTested misses 'special' methods. The method ClassTestCase >> selectorsTested computes the sent messages in a test incorrectly. It looks in the literals array, and so misses the 32 'special' message selectors. The correct code is both shorter and simpler. (Andrew Black) --------------- Morphic: - 0003416: Faster Moprhic invalidation Morph>>invalidRect:from: was testing for wonderland textures (which where stored in a property...). (Thanks to Andrew Black for reporting this). - Better looking menu title bar (from Thorsten Bergman, if I remember correctly) - some method were lost in 7024 (from etoy-customevents-*). They are back now, fixes lots of bugreports on Mantis. --------------- Change Set: ExternalSettingsReorg-tpr Date: 5 April 2006 Author: tim(a)rowledge.org Reorganise the categories in ExternalSettings to get rid of an explcit '--all--' that can make a real mess of filing out the code -------------- Change Set: KedamaMissing-KR Date: 14 April 2006 Author: Korakurider add missing method for Kedama ---------------- Change Set: KedamaWODepreciated-KR Date: 14 April 2006 Author: Korakurider refactor kedama not to call depreciated methods. note: As showDeprecationWarnings preferece is set to false in Squeakland image, original kedama code run without no problem. ------------------ renamed BlockContext>>endpc to be endOC and fix the one sender (md) ------------------ Change Set: MacRomanFix Date: 5 April 2006 Author: Andreas Raab Raise an error if somebody tries to write wide characters. ---------------------- 0003458: PositionableStream>>copyPreamble:from:at: broken (Andreas Raab) --------- 0003415: Changeset is not updated when renaming a class (Noury Bouraqadi) After renaming a class, the changeset is not updated to refer to the new name. Therefore, one virtually lose recorded changes. The fix also cleans a bit SystemDictionary. It removes method SystemDictionary>>renameClass:from: and uses instead SystemDictionary>>renameClass:as: used by traits ----------- 0003492: Complete the job of changing the way that arrays are printed (Andrew Black) The new array printing logic introduced in 3.9 had some holes, and needed some cleanup. The attached changeset provides it. Tests are included. Specifically, the changeset - marks Fractions as selfEveluating and Booleans as literals - puts Array>>printOn: back in the printing ctaegory, where someone might expect to find it - removes duplicated logic from Collection>>printElementsOn: - adds tests for all of the above. -------------- faster asUTC from Avi Bryant -------------- FixInvisible from Bert Freudenberg

SqueakMap login lost
by nicolas cellier 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Maybe someone can answer in this list, because i found nothing in http://map.squeak.org Sime time ago, i created an account in SM (nicolas cellier ncellier(a)ifrance.com nice) but lost the confirmation mail (unless did not receive ?). If i try to log in with any dumb password i get the message: First login should be done using the link provided in the confirmation email! If i try: http://map.squeak.org/mailnewpassword I enter my initials or my email, but after a while, get the answer: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request POST /mailnewpassword. Reason: Error reading from remote server Is there something wrong on the site ? Is there a good soul to help me reactivate this account, or destroy it so that i can recycle my name email and initials ? Nicolas

[Remove first occurrence of > "is," change "newcomers" to singular] You should also drop the "Welcome to this list!" greeting, since a similar one is automatically added by Mailman itself. Giovanni
